This request actually comes from a friend. He would ask this himself, but he does not speak english at all.
Can you provide a ToolTip for Buttons? I Know that on mode 0 this might be an unwanted behaviour (stupid popups with the label for anyone who settled a text counterpart for the applet), maybe it will need a workaround. Or simply to warn users they have to remove the Label line from any button's config.
Sorry for being such annoying with feature requests :P

Done.
There's also a (present) dbus interface for each button to set/alter the tooltip at runtime.

qdbus org.kde.be.shell /<button_name> setToolTip "Foo and Bar"

It's a one-liner.
Adding widgetname depending icons in a non invasive way (messing up the code ;-) is eg. a "little" tricker...
